E8 Crypto Perps

E8 Crypto Perps, checked on 21 Oct 2026: this page covers only E8 Markets' Perpetual Futures market: what it lists, where prices come from, its leverage and fees, and how E8 One and E8 Pro work when you pick perps at checkout. For the company and the full crypto review, see the Full E8 Crypto crypto review →.

E8's Perpetual Futures market (shown on its site as "Perpetuals 24/7 (Hyperliquid)") is powered by the Hyperliquid data feed and replaced E8's older Crypto market. It covers crypto, stocks, indices, metals and energy (the site names BTC, gold, oil, the Nasdaq and Nvidia) and trades only on the E8 Terminal, not on MT5, cTrader, TradeLocker or MatchTrader. All trading runs in E8's simulated SimFi™ environment; E8 is not a broker and takes no trading deposits.

Prop Firm Bridge rates E8 78 / 100, PFB Verified, the same score as its main review.

Our take on E8's perps

E8 brings an established firm's infrastructure to Hyperliquid-fed perps, with more than crypto on the menu: stocks, indices, gold and oil, all in one terminal. Fees are published and low, leverage is sensible, and E8 One can be set up the way you trade. The cost is complexity: a dynamic drawdown on E8 One, a Best Day rule at payout time and a daily profit cap on E8 Pro.

Pros

• Hyperliquid feed on crypto, stocks, indices, metals and energy.
• Published, Hyperliquid-based maker and taker fees.
• Customizable E8 One, passable in one day.
• Accounts up to $500K.

Cons

• Perps only on the E8 Terminal.
• Dynamic drawdown on E8 One.
• 40% Best Day rule in the Performance stage.
• No published funding schedule; payouts only through third-party providers.

What you trade: Hyperliquid perps on the E8 Terminal

E8 describes perpetual futures as contracts that let you trade an asset's price without owning it and without an expiry date. On E8, the feed and market data for this market come directly from Hyperliquid, the on-chain exchange built for perps. In the E8 Terminal, these instruments carry a DEX badge and their maximum leverage next to the ticker, and the chart title says, for example, "BTC perpetual on Hyperliquid". The terminal's Asset Universe lists every tradable Hyperliquid asset.

You choose the market at checkout. E8 says the market changes the instruments, fees and some platform functions, while drawdowns, trading rules and the payout mechanism stay the same as on Classic Markets.

Markets

• Crypto perps: BTC, ETH and a wide list of altcoins, trading 24/7.
• Stocks, indices, metals and energy perps: for example Nvidia, the Nasdaq, gold and oil.

Leverage

On both E8 One and E8 Pro perpetual accounts, leverage is the same in the challenge and the Performance stage:

• Bitcoin and Ethereum: 1:15
• Other crypto: 1:2
• Stocks: 1:5
• Indices, metals and energy: 1:15
• Forex: 1:25

Fees and funding

E8 bases its perps fees on Hyperliquid's: crypto costs 0.045% taker (market orders) and 0.015% maker (limit orders); stocks, indices, gold, oil and other traditional instruments cost 0.009% taker and 0.003% maker. To work out the fee, multiply the position's notional value by the rate: a $50,000 BTC market order costs $22.50. The spread is usually about one tick on major instruments. The E8 Terminal shows funding in its own Funding tab next to Positions and Trade History; E8's help center does not publish a separate funding schedule, so check that tab while you hold positions.

Liquidation and loss limits

With leverage capped at 1:15 on the majors and 1:2 on altcoins, your account limits are what you need to watch, not an exchange liquidation price. E8 One uses a dynamic drawdown: closed profits can raise the loss floor until it locks at the starting balance. E8 Pro uses a static drawdown. Payouts can reduce your remaining buffer, so plan withdrawals.

E8 One on perps

E8 One is a one-phase account that can be passed in one day, and E8 calls it its most customizable product: you choose the drawdown and payout settings at checkout, and the target and limits follow. Two settings we checked:

• 4% maximum drawdown setting (checked 19 Oct 2026): 6% target, 3% daily drawdown, 4% dynamic maximum drawdown.
• 6% maximum drawdown setting, 80% payout (E8's configurator on 21 Oct 2026, $100K): $9,000 target, $6,000 dynamic drawdown, $4,000 daily drawdown, first payout in as little as 3 days, no activation fee.

The challenge has no consistency rule; the Performance stage has a 40% Best Day rule for payouts. Sizes run from $5K ($48) to $500K ($1,998) at list price.

E8 Pro on perps

E8 Pro is built for daily payouts with a static drawdown and no payout caps. Payouts can be requested daily after at least 1% profit, but no more than 2% of the initial balance counts as profit per day.

Rules worth knowing

• At least one trade must be opened and closed every 60 days, or the account closes.
• Copy trading is allowed between accounts that belong to you.
• In the Performance stage, restricted high-impact news blocks opening, closing and order changes during the prohibition window.
• Performance allocation is capped at $500,000 per market for E8 One and E8 Pro.

Payouts

E8 pays through WorkMarket, Rise or Aeropay (US only) after their identity checks; there are no direct crypto payouts. E8 charges no payout fee, but the payout provider may.
